How to Start Over and Ignore the Doubt (and the doubters): Dr. Cindy Starke on Finding Midlife Magic
Manage episode 426911377 series 2808228
“You don't have to let your past define you. You can change in a heartbeat”. Dr. Cindy Starke is a firm believer that it’s never too late to begin again. Cindy is a physician and geneticist, and at mid-life she made the bold decision to leave her full-time hospital position and top-end salary to found a coaching program dedicated to empowering women at that tricky second-half-of-life milestone.
Despite huge pushback from her partner and a lot of fear and trepidation, Cindy made the leap. She tore down societal boundaries to reinvent her life, and now she helps her clients do the same. She helps them explore what’s been holding them back, discover what they really want and then build that life from the ground up.
In this episode, Cindy tells us about her powerful breakout from that narrow idea of "the perfect life": The kids, the house, the husband, the job...and the pay check of everyone else's dreams. We hear all about her ups and downs including when she made an Iron Man attempt, failed, and then went back for more! Cindy also shares the big steps she took to live the life she never knew she could have but always knew she wanted. It’s an honest and very real conversation about what change really takes, and how to push past the fear and go for it.
